Thoughts?

Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn’t it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

    That said even at the present numbers it means every third family or so has a party member.

    This is assuming an even distrubution. I have seen no reason to believe this. Certain segments of society are likely far more represented, which means the others are far less represented.

      You mean like the parts that weren’t Mandarin Han Chinese decent?

      Yeah it’s impossible to ignore what The CCP has done to vulnerable populations that they have decided need to be assimilated into their idea of a dominant culture.

        That, and by class I’m sure there’s disparities too. It’s also likely higher in families that already have members.
